Ron Jirsa Game Quotations

Chris had two outstanding games. He was our leader. The Bahamian teams attacked with very quick, physical guards and it was a good challenge. In the second game he had nine assists and no turnovers. That's a great indicator of things to come.

I am happy to see (Bro Grebe) get into the game. We need another presence to give Mark (Patton) a break, and I hope he can come in and do that. Tonight was a good sign of what he can do for us.

We've been trying to get a great effort. I think this was our best effort game since I've been here.

That's the way we are looking at the game Wednesday. UAB is a great team, but now we turn our attention to Tulane in the tournament.

We worked hard before the game at shooting and finishing better around the basket.

That's an athletic team and that's a physically strong team. I thought late in the game they seemed to get stronger.
